For 1 serving
Prepare the clementine: Carefully peel the clementine and separate it into individual segments. If desired, you can also remove the white pith from each segment for a cleaner taste and texture.
Spoon the yogurt: Spoon the plain Greek yogurt into a serving bowl, spreading it evenly across the bottom to create a creamy base.
Arrange the fruit: Artfully arrange the clementine segments on top of the yogurt, ensuring they are distributed nicely for an appealing presentation.
Add toppings: Sprinkle the chia seeds evenly over the clementine and yogurt. These will absorb some moisture and add a pleasant crunch.
Season and sweeten: Dust with ground cinnamon for a warm, aromatic touch. If using, drizzle the honey over the entire bowl for an added layer of sweetness.
Serve immediately: Enjoy this refreshing and satisfying bowl as a quick breakfast or a healthy, protein-packed snack.
What to keep in mind.
4 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Choose your yogurt wisely: Opt for full-fat or 2% Greek yogurt for maximum satiety and creaminess. The extra fat helps keep you fuller for longer.
- 2Experiment with seeds and nuts: While chia seeds are great, feel free to substitute with hemp seeds, flax seeds, or a sprinkle of chopped walnuts or almonds for varied texture and nutrients.
- 3Perfect segmenting: For the best presentation and eating experience, try to remove as much of the white pith from the clementine segments as possible.
- 4Make it a meal prep item: While best fresh, you can portion yogurt and clementine segments into separate containers the night before. Add seeds and cinnamon just before eating to maintain crunch.
